plastic surgery

[pipmister]

Alright, so I am right now watching this show on MTV about plastic surgery obsession. Can I just say, that humans are so fucked up? How can we be so vain about our bodies? Considering our bodies falls apart eventually...what is the point of "perfecting" ourselves during the mean time? They now have a surgery that shortens your toes so you can fit

I totally agree...we're all becoming like Lady Cassandra...freaky.

We actually were just talking about that kind of plastic surgery in my women's studies class on Friday. We were all just as appalled as you are...I mean, vaginal plastic surgery? Who the hell decides what a beautiful vagina looks like? Not to mention the possible complications.

The pressure put on women to fulfill all these (often contradictory) roles in society is awful, and it's not fair to anyone--men or women. The problem is that men seem like the usually can't be bothered to do anything about it.

Yes, I'm not really upset with men...its women who are the hardest on each other. I totally agree with you...where there any guys in your women's studies class? what did they have to say?

[little_pip]

There are two guys, and they don't really say much. At all. I've heard them speak maybe once.

you know what's really screwed up too? i needed to get psychologically cleared before i could get my surgery for an actual medical condition: gender identity disorder.
